Making It - Ep6 - Finale: Mental Mistakes (Recap & Short Film)

[@milovarquiel]

It’s nice to see the final product. But it would be even better if you let us see more of the filming process. How you shot it, the dynamics of the team. What did you fed your staff? How did you solved the problems that occurred in the set?

[@lahamada]

I totally agree. Great work 👏

[@HAPPYMERCS]

Wait what? ...it feel like we jumped straight to the end? I figured the next episode would show us the production experience itself.

[@kylerpolson4811]

I felt like this series skipped an episode or two. The main actress really knocked it out of the park in my opinion

[@BerlsMcSquirrels]

Why not show more on the actual production, not just pre-pro?

[@katojuakhil9277]

Because studio binder is pre production software 😊

[@pantiumforce]

agreed

[@giovannitagliari475]

The name should be Pre-making it.

[@daddydeepdink907]

yessss!~

[@AndradeFacu]

The series was amazing. Now, about the final product: Actors were really good, but the whole "exposition intro" full of what looked like stock video felt...weird. Also, a little bit of post.production in colour could have been cool

[@Comedyschule]

Yup definitely

[@jeremiahnoar7504]

I think that's because it was a proof of concept. They scrapped the original intro to save money. It makes sense. This most likely isn't what you'd see on a Netflix but instead something a Netflix Scout would see before actually making this episode.

[@juju10683]

yeah I always think those "newsreel" information dumps are lazy writing

[@jobegruen4273]

Ooooh! Either some seriously bad shit went down between episode 5 and episode 6, or StudioBinder decided the series wasn’t worth the effort and just mailed the last episode in. I hope “season 2” is a little more thought out, with more footage and a little more effort put in. Would’ve been nice to see full episodes on Preproduction, principal photography and post production, with a separate episode dedicated to the short (although the short itself did seem like little more than my friends and I put together in TV Production class in Highschool). I know how hard filmmaking is, so I don’t even much mind that the short was subpar from script to execution. I am just disappointed that the “series” ended up as mediocre as the short did. Hopefully Season 2 will be a little more informative.

[@milovarquiel]

This, I don't want to be a hater, this channel pumps a lot of good content. But it's like right before the shooting and during editing and post production someone at StudioBinder realized this wasn't as good as some people expected and they ruled the series would get cut short and leave any footage of the editing and post production proccess in the hard drives and just hastly end the series.

[@jobegruen4273]

milovarquiel someone made a point that they are a preproduction software, so that is where they focused. Which I totally get. It is a superior preproduction software. They took what Celtic was doing and improved on it multiple times over. I just felt like the series wasn’t even as thorough for prepro as they sold it to be. It was decent and most of what they put out is really good, as you pointed out. This just felt like they probably shot a lot, but also left just as much on the cutting room floor for one reason or another. I figure that, or their “BTS/Making It team” was just as reliable as their original field recordist was and they didn’t even get much shot. Great channel. I just hoped for a little more from this series.

[@freddytheplatypus826]

more than likely, studio binder saw this final product, decided not to pay for any more vlog episodes on the making of because the final result was going to be this slapdash. either that or some serious problems came up during the shoot and they just couldn't release them to the public. lol

[@TwistedFilm]

@@jobegruen4273 Well said!

[@orionsbelt7028]

But on this episode you were supposed to be on set☹️ I thought it would be interesting to see how you actually shoota movie

[@orionsbelt7028]

Thanks for the ❤️, @StudioBinder😅 But I'd prefer an answer hahaha I generally like your work here on KZbin. I just wanted a response because I really don't know why this series is not complete.

[@JadenHercules]

This is a 5 part series about how to make a short film. Check the playlist.

[@ariglori]

Where is the episode on the actual production? In episode 5 SC actually says, "In the next episode I'll be on set...". Really?!? The presentation of the spec should have been either at the end of the Episode 6 or there should be another episode. The recap is just BS. Good job on execution knowing your limited budget and natural drawbacks from things like single location and crew dropping out at the last minute. I feel if you weren't so limited the parts of the script that were cut would've helped to make the end result a bit better. Still the overall setup for the series was communicated. Keep up the good work!

[@pantiumforce]

agreed

[@YoungBlaze]

They hit a snag on set and some tension and one of the people quit, so they thought it wasn't worth showing

[@henryrileyproductions]

What happened to the production and post-production parts of the series?? They didn't even mention / discuss a budget for an editor or anything regarding post-production. The first 5 episodes were AMAZING. Bring it back.

[@JT-xh1ih]

I don't know if it was supposed to be funny, but I BURST out laughing at the title screen right after the dramatic reveal. The editing of this was ALL over the place. Dear lord.

[@jonathannavales9764]

I don’t want to sound a hater at all but man...... that was a rough watch.

[@dayandknight.]

Then buy a new watch

[@ShadowManV3]

I agree

[@austinhue]

Confusing story. Cringey dialogue. Way too long. Not to mention the technical. Poor sound mix. Awkward stock footage and music. Flat lighting and rec709 look. And this was made for what again? $5,000 in a full weekend with a 10-person crew? Jeez, let one of us take a crack at that. For as hardcore as this guy was about getting all the casting/locations/camera right, he sure....didn’t have a story to tell. and didn’t accomplish a cinematic feel. I’ve seen wedding films shot on a 5D4 that are prettier and more substantial than this. What a drag of a reveal

[@JadenHercules]

@@austinhue "Too long". Buddy - what're you on about? The film was *short film* was barely 10 minutes, that's rather short.

[@austinhue]

@@JadenHercules not when the same story could have fit into 3 minutes

[@milankarangiya5788]

Well I guess GOT was not the only series I waited for with so much expectations and....u know the rest... Jokes aside... I really wanted to see more of the work

[@FoodNetworkLite]

So you showed us how to do a film on a budget, then, out of the blue, this heavily produced intro with more actors, voice overs, graphics, stock footage, production costs, etc. What did that cost? Where was that in the budget? Why wasn't it even mentioned in the first five episodes? It certainly wasn't all for free. I had no idea what I was watching at first because it came out of left field. Love the content on this channel, but all this did was show how to use your software. Why not just do a series about filming a project using your software instead of creating drama with having to do super low budget? Filmmaking can be dramatic enough - sure you'll get a good story sling the way.

[@heylou]

Lmao I liked it. The fake doctor was definitely the best actor

[@ahmedelgadi3920]

i knew after they were fighting in the meeting something bad was gonna happen, what did i just watch i feel like i missed an episode LOL

[@pckmusic]

Honestly you guys need to cut out that "news" intro sequence. It completely distracts from the pilot. And not in a genius-of-juxtapostion way. I'm glad I didn't switch away and watched the whole thing; I really appreciate the pilot in and of itself. Good job with that part. Nuke the intro. Please.

[@andreasmichalopoulos304]

ep5 used "next episode on set". Critical hit! It's super effective! ep6: Finale

[@danielbautista2561]

$5000 budget for this wtf

[@YoungBlaze]

Hmm 🤔

[@thatgirl6158]

Oh wow didn't expect this episode to go straight to the short film. Had high hopes for this project. Didn't even see the shooting process, and didn't even cover the post production. The music choice, sound effect or whatever and the editing. That would complete this whole series.

[@dinosaurfilms7425]

This series was haphazardly finished, which is a shame.

[@nomadben]

Like everyone else said, I was really enjoying the series, but you guys left out a MASSIVE part of the process. You should have shown the rest of the production, regardless of the fact that you make pre-production software. Also, the final film felt incredibly generic, like it had no substance at all. It was very strange. It didn't look good either.

[@teenboy_pk]

[@fryguyfilms5725]

Loved it! Thank you guys for making this series- I learned a lot!!!

[@MariaChelidoni]

Guys I loved it! This series of "Making it" helped a lot since we are currently writing the script for a short (it is based on a novel) and this was very enlightening. Thank you!

[@warrenbintoro5441]

Great short film. You guys are the best.

[@edinibranovic9667]

Hopefully, we see more of this. A platform like KZbin Red would be perfect for this show.

[@SaarangP_007]

Very helpful series! But would like to see a bit of production detailing as well. Like, camera angles, scenes & takes, some problems that you faced during the shoot (out of control situations that need to be anticipated in advance), etc. But overall, it's a great idea to showcase everything from start to finish 👍🏻

[@shaileshshongpazz5154]

Wheres the actual on set episode, where we can see the shoot...damn thats not good..

[@jeremiahnoar7504]

That was amazing! extreamly comprehensive. thanks!

[@marianojorgedeverilltabare430]

That was great!! awesome job with such little budget! I think you missed a couple of episodes though (shooting and post production) but it would make total sense if they come after this episode since they would've been a little "spoilery". But it says finale... Oh I'd love to see shooting and post production! In any case, great job!

[@butchrodgers9559]

IMO, the actual show looked like it was made from a bunch of film school graduates who only been in the industry for a year. All the shots you guys had were zoomed in making the background blurry which is a minsconception of having a cinematic look, also I know there was all the budget stuff and you guys were using what you had but using a RODE microphone and I think that was a Zoom H4n during the last scene when he stepped out the car is such a anti professional mistake when your trying to show professionals as the actual interviewers. C’mon guys, the mediocre screenplay could have been made better by students.

[@baggiojiang7123]

Walker Flocker spot on

[@grosbenny]

You dont need to be zoomed in to have a blurry background, its depth of field and that's base on the apperature of the lense.

‘Watches vid 1-5” No budget filmmakers: they have $5,000? That’s a lot of money! This Should be good. ‘Watches pilot” NBF: they had $5,000? That’s a lot of money. This Should be good.

[@ChannelODaLlama]

Writing wasn't that great

[@ShadowManV3]

Yeah this was a huge let down. How did this cost 10k? Also all the B-roll in the beginning was pointless and was just confusing and distracting from the real short. I also dont see where your 10k went when I could have made this same thing for maybe $500 at the most. This was honestly a let down sense ive been following this from the start. I do films with barley any budget that are better then this. StudioBinder should hire me to do better videos then this.

[@maxsdad538]

StudioBinder, you have enough negative comments that you really owe your viewers an explanation about the flat ending. Your Ep6 "thumbs down" percentage is over 16% from a low of less that 1% on episode 1, that's pretty pathetic for someone who's trying to rent production software. It also shows a lack of consideration for your viewers.

It's about the process not the final product , thanks for sharing

so how about editing? who did it and what did it cost? why stop the series halfway. Now it's more like "from script to camera" It was a really awsome series but a bit disappointed with the end

[@joshuaabraham9096]

i really like the setup about how organized it was, just a bit of a doubt what happened to post?? as in when budget was the issue and everything was being sorted out there was no mention of the crew of post production and their pays being included in that 5000 dollars mark? is there a completely a different budget for post??

[@michaelwilliams949]

I don’t think the point of this was to make a masterpiece film. It was to show how preproduction and execution works. Handling budgets, getting crew and actors, while this definitely didn’t need to cost $5000 and could have been done far better even with little to no money, the point is showing how it works. I think people in the comments don’t get that 🤔 I agree though, not showing stuff on set and the editing and colour grading sucks.

[@friend5625]

Is it possible to make the screenplay public for reference and educational reasons? Would be great! :)

[@johnbandadesigns4605]

Like how the lighting was done though there is an audio blip on the 0:53 mark of the video..I am not sure if it was dubbed over or not but it seemed noticeable on the cut. But it's quite amazing how you guys put it all together.

Well ive seen alot stuff in this short thats not "right" but whats wrong with the zoom in? The framing or do you mean loss of quality?

[@jesaispasvraimentquoiecrireici]

@@Comedyschule Many things, the fact that this cut is less than 2 seconds (it jumps into the screen and cut too fast). The fact that it's look like a cut you would do in a bad vlog to provoke a forced laugh. The head of the other guy is cut in half (framing). It doesn't look sharp on the subject. If you want to film a reaction shot, just don't zoom-in to it in post prod, film another shot with shallower depth of field

If this was a real show I would definitely consider watching it but the problem is you guys did all of this work and it looks great but it never became an actual TV show. This could be for one of two reasons. Either: You put all of this work and money into this and it didn't pay off. What you ended up with is way better and more professional than anything I could do so why would I even try? If it didn't work for you then why would it work for me? Or: All of this is fake and just an ad for studio binder. In other words your buisness is studio binder thats how you are making money. Not making tv shows but selling a product. Your just showing off your product in a real world situation. My guess is it's the latter.

[@BadKarma714]

I loved the show I would like to see more good job I have a few show ideas the one I have been working on would be for Disney Plus it has to do with a surviving Jedi after order 66 as we know Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi survive and they went to the Jedi Temple to change the message to not come to the Jedi Temple so this Jedi Knight goes to the outer Rim where the New Empire has not been yet and this Jedi goes around helping people his mission is to find and help other Surviving Jedi if there are anymore.
